Instructions

Pineapple Salsa

  • To make the pineapple bowl, cut about 1/3 of the pineapple off, leaving the stem attached to the larger piece of the pineapple. Make a cut around the outer edge of the pineapple fruit and make cuts across the middle too. Use a metal spoon to loosen and scoop out the pineapple chunks. Pour the extra juice out of the pineapple bowl so that it is empty.
  • Dice enough of the pineapple chunks to make one cup of diced pineapple to be used for the salsa and save the rest for another use.
  • In a small bowl, mix together diced pineapple, diced tomatoes, diced peppers, minced onions, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Transfer the salsa to the pineapple bowl for serving.

Breakfast Dawg

  • In a medium nonstick pan over medium heat, cook bacon until crispy. Remove from heat and drain bacon pieces on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving about 1 tablespoon bacon fat in the pan.
  • Return pan to medium heat and crack eggs inside. Season eggs with salt and pepper and cook until the whites are set, about 5 minutes.
  • Butter hot dog buns. Add sausage and bacon, then top with eggs, chives, and hot sauce.
